Nanaimo Regional District, City Pleased With Recycling Contract

Officials who manage waste in the Nanaimo area are pleased with the deal from a provincial recycling organization signed two years ago.

In 2014, the City of Nanaimo and the Regional District of Nanaimo signed curbside recycling deals with Multi Material B.C., the non-profit organization that manages residential packaging and printed recycling programs within the province.

As a result of the deal, which expires in 2019, MMBC pays both the city and district money each year to continue curbside collection and provide public education on best recycling practices.
